The smoke of the Copa America was gone, and summer was basically coming to an end.

The Premier League teams have almost recruited soldiers.

When Dong Fangzhuo returned to England, he was half happy and half lost.

Because he expected that Van Dijk, whom Manchester United received, did not come to Manchester United in the end, but to Southampton.

This made him laugh and cry. Ferguson brought Mbappe but not Van Dijk.

But this still has not flowed to the outside world, and Van Dijk belongs to Southampton at least.

Manchester United's defense still has no change, but in the midfield, Ferguson still caught Schweinsteiger.

He seems to trust the German midfielder very much. Although Dong Fangzhuo thinks Schweinsteiger will be unacceptable to the local conditions in England, he also believes that he should be able to play at Ferguson's hands. After all, Ferguson is not the same Van Gaal back then, and wasn't he, Dong Fangzhuo, in charge of Manchester United?

Back in England, he was interviewed by the news media for the first time, and a reporter from the Manchester Evening News had the honor to interview him.

As the captain of the team, Dong Fangzhuo was still ambitious when talking about the new season. "I definitely believe that we can go a long way in the new season. I believe that we can compete for three consecutive league championships. If you take a good look at all the games we played in the second half of last season, we almost got all the points, and we can do this season."

"We have transferred a lot of new players in the new season, and these players are all at the championship level. Winning the Premier League is our goal, and winning the Champions League is also our goal, because we are Manchester United!

"Although this year's Premier League has become more intense than in previous years, and the two best players in the world have also come here, we are still ambitious."

When he said this, Dong Fangzhuo mentioned Messi and Ronaldo.

"It is the most incredible thing to be able to become opponents in the same league as Ronaldo and Messi. I feel full of motivation now, and it is also the happiness of fans in England."

"This will be the craziest time, I think the three of us are ready."

He did not mention others. Obviously, in his eyes, only Messi and Ronaldo are qualified to compete with him, which is extremely confident.

The three of the strongest players in international football are the three of them, and other players are indeed beyond their reach.

Judging from the odds of winning the championship given by the bookmaker William Hill, Manchester United's prospects are still better than those of Chelsea and Manchester City. This is of course because of Dong Fangzhuo's existence.

However, the three teams are basically in the eyes of blood exchange, and I don’t know what the prospects of the new season are yet to be.

But the reporter was more interested in his Southampton.

"Dong, do you think Southampton will have a chance to compete for the championship?"

"Why is it impossible? Southampton is also full of stars. Rooney, Gerard, Terry, Carrick, these are all top Premier League players. With practical players like Van Dijk and Mane, they may really be beyond everyone's expectations. I'm not kidding. Even Ranieri's Leicester City may create miracles."

Dong Fangzhuo naturally knows very well about the Premier League in the 1516 season. This season, Leicester City won the final league championship. Although there is no problem with being awesome. He also believes that Leicester City's results this season will be very good, but if you want to win the championship? It is almost impossible this time...

The main reason is that the arrival of him, Messi and Ronaldo has changed everything, and it is impossible to follow the previous plot.

In addition, there is no change in Chelsea and other players in Manchester City's lineup, just because there are more Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, but it is terrifying to have these two guys, because they can change the situation alone...

However, the English media are not so optimistic about Manchester United.

The Times wrote an article saying: The highly anticipated Premier League season in 2015-16 will kick off. After recruiting this summer, 20 teams will re-engage and they will fight for their goals. Giants such as Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Liverpool will compete fiercely for the championship, and the Champions League qualification, Europa League qualification and relegation battle will also be exciting. At present, it is difficult for Manchester United to achieve smooth sailing on the road to championships as last season, and many Premier League giants have opportunities.

In fact, their analysis is very objective. The battle for the Premier League championship is the biggest highlight. Judging from the strength of the lineup, there are only five giants with the ability to attack the championship, namely Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool. Last season, Manchester United won the Premier League two rounds ahead of schedule, and basically did not encounter any effective blockade in the second half of the season. Ferguson's team stayed at the top for a total of 125 days, which shows Manchester United's strength. However, after the start of the new season, Manchester United may not be able to achieve a smooth run.

In this summer transfer window, Premier League giants have chosen to strengthen significantly. Among them, Liverpool has signed the most players, and the new coach Klopp's team has introduced eight new players including Danny Ince, Klein, Benteke, Firmino and Milner in one go. Among them, in the center position, the Reds made up for the weakest link and their lineup has been greatly strengthened. They are expected to return to the level of the 2013-14 season, so the Reds will not be underestimated.

Manchester City didn't sign many players this summer, but the arrival of Messi and Sterling is enough to make their frontcourt super luxurious. The trident composed of any three Messi, Sterling, David Silva and Aguero can make the entire Premier League tremble. In addition, Manchester City's lineup is already super luxurious, so they are more confident in winning the championship.

With the competitors signing a lot, Chelsea did not buy a lot. They bought Manchester United's abandoned player Falcao and Begovic. Of course, the most awesome thing was to buy Ronaldo and Mourinho also returned! The biggest hidden danger of Chelsea should be the defense line, because Terry and Felipe both left, which left them with only 5 people on the defense line. If there is no fresh blood pouring in, then Chelsea will have huge hidden dangers.

Relatively speaking, Wenger's team is much shabby. The Gunners have introduced Cech this summer. The lineup has no shortcomings, but the star flavor is not very good. But if you are a senior Premier League fan, you cannot have any hope for Wenger's team. They will not pose any threat to the championship. Every year they are struggling in pain for the fourth high school. This season they have to play in the Europa League...

However, Spinach Company believes that Arsenal has such potential. The reason they gave is very sufficient: the main framework of the lineup has not changed, which means that compared with some giants with more entry and exit, Arsenal does not have a running-in period after the new season officially begins, and the mature lineup style index is better than other competitors.

So which team has the championship appearance? At least I seem to see a lot from the preseason.

Especially Arsenal, Arsenal's performance in the warm-up match is as fierce as a tiger.

Arsenal played a total of 5 warm-up matches this summer, defeating Singapore Star United 4-0, defeating Everton 3-1, defeating Lyon 6-0, defeating Wolfsburg 1-0, defeating Chelsea 1-0. Just looking at the score is enough to prove that Arsenal has done a good job in preparing for the summer, and in fact, it is indeed the case. Many main players gradually regain their sense of the game through warm-up matches. For example, young players like Ivobi and Akpeng also broke out like many seniors. The most important thing is that new player Cech has established a tacit understanding with the players on the defense.

Unfortunately, in the last game against Chelsea, Ronaldo did not make a play and was not convincing. If he defeated Chelsea, which owns Ronaldo, then this Arsenal would be really terrible...

Another down-and-out giant, Liverpool, went to Asia to hunt for gold, but Uncle Slag's first year at Liverpool was not optimistic.

In the Asia-Pacific region, Liverpool played four warm-up matches, winning 3 wins and 1 draw. Although the matches are commercial, Liverpool still exposed many problems. In the match against Brisbane Roar, Liverpool's conceded goals repeated last season. The top of the penalty area lacks the protection of the midfielder. Neither Milner nor Henderson can do this. This will be a fatal hidden danger in the new season. What's worse is that Liverpool has not yet supplemented it. In addition, except for the offensive firepower displayed against the Thai star team, the other games are still weak. Origi and Ince have proven to be overused in the warm-up match. If you want to achieve good results in the new season, you must not expect them.

Fortunately, there are many players who stayed at the Melwood training base, such as Firmino and Benteke. It is easy to see whether they can solve the problem of Liverpool's weak forwards; at least compared to their weak defense, Liverpool is still looking forward to at the offensive level.

As for Chelsea, Mourinho knows this team too well and almost seamlessly matches. Ronaldo also directly adapted to Chelsea's system. He started all the games in the first four warm-up matches, and his average performance of 2 goals per game was amazing. But in the fifth game against Arsenal, the birds cooled down Ronaldo, and Chelsea lost to Arsenal 0:1, which also shows that Chelsea is now playing around Ronaldo. With Ronaldo and Ronaldo without Ronaldo, there are two levels. Why didn't he let Ronaldo play Arsenal? Maybe it was to protect Ronaldo, are he afraid of Arsenal's revenge?

However, Ronaldo is not the most eye-catching player. Messi returned from vacation and is still the guy with the strongest performance. Messi also played four games, but Messi scored twice in two games, defeating Ronaldo. After Guardiola entered Manchester City, he quickly copied his tactics in Barcelona and built a new Manchester City around Messi.

Messi also quickly found happiness here.

Messi immediately said in his first interview with The Times: "I am very happy here, I love it, Barcelona has become a thing of the past, and Manchester City fans love me very much, which makes me flattered! Guardiola knows how to use me, we will definitely achieve something this season, and I can't wait to start the new season."

Messi did quickly conquer Manchester City fans, and the limelight was unparalleled.

However, Dong Fangzhuo and Manchester United seem to be in a little trouble.

Their results in the preseason warm-up were very poor, and their opponents were really average.

Compared with the other four teams, Manchester United's lineup has the biggest change and the youngest, and has been working on the lineup in four games.

New players Schweinsteiger and Schneiderlin were both entrusted by Ferguson to put their heavy responsibilities in the midfielder position. Dong Fangzhuo was ahead of them, with three young melons on the forward line, Rashford on the right, Januzai on the left, Martial on the center, or Mbappe on the right, Rashford on the center, and Januzai on the left.

In the first friendly match, Manchester United and Evergrande scored 3:3, and led by three goals, and were tied by Evergrande. Ferguson was very dissatisfied with the defense and allowed Mata to play in the second game.

In the second game, SIPG fell behind 0:3, and Manchester United scored 3:3 again, and Ferguson had no temper at all.

Manchester United's performance is too unstable.

In the third game against Guoan, Manchester United finally played a beautiful game, 6:2, but the defense was still not very good.

In the fourth game, Manchester United scored 4:3.

The point is that Dong Fangzhuo has made a appearance. He only averages one goal per game, and more offensive opportunities are left to the young people. He mainly organizes offense in the midfield.

But Manchester United showed two main weaknesses, the defense and the front line were unstable.

Ferguson finally realized that Manchester United really should make up for the defender, but there is really not much time left for them...

Therefore, Spinach Company was suppressed by Manchester United by Manchester City and Chelsea in the latest championship odds.

Manchester City is the most favored, followed by Chelsea, and Manchester United ranks third.

"Marteau United's blood transfer is too serious, and it's too disadvantageous for Manchester United. If they don't make up for the defender, then Manchester United's prospects in the league this season are not optimistic."

"The average age of the first four guys is not as good as 20 years old. How do they play? This is not the Premier League ten or twenty years ago. Ferguson's ideas are too naive."

Innocent?

I don’t know if Ferguson is angry. Anyway, Ferguson did not buy a defender, but suddenly dug Di Maria! Di Maria suddenly arrived in Manchester United from Real Madrid.

Even Dong Fangzhuo was very surprised. Not buying defenders or midfielders meant that Ferguson only had offense in his eyes and didn’t want to defend anymore?

The old man's mind is really becoming more and more elusive...

However, Dong Fangzhuo has no objection. Manchester United has never won the championship by defending...

The Times said bluntly: "Crazy, Sir Jordan is so crazy. What exactly should Manchester United do this season? Manchester United, who is strong in offense and weak in defense, can really achieve results this season? This is too risky. Ferguson is dizzy and has lost his mind."

What to do?

The Community Shield knew what would happen, and the opponent was still the unlucky Liverpool...
